It just seems untenable to put our biggest rubes in the highest levels of our government, but no one is stopping it.

A handful of GOP congressmen could stop all of this.

This is what we get when Republicans gut our education system for 30 years and Democrats respond by largely doing nothing of impact. Republicans break the rules and Dems play by them. It really isn't surprising. It just is disappointing.

Measles just popped up in my county (in NY). These fools are killing people.

It's only untenable to us, the people it kills, while for the oligarchs it just concentrates more capital.

The rubes took over that party years ago.

pamnapo.bsky.social•13 hours ago

The Congress was first stocked with rubes by Republican primary voters and then they got the majority. People voted for these idiots, or voted for them by staying home and thinking their vote wouldn’t matter.

Eating McDonald's french fries exposes people to a lethal level of chlorine if we ignore the fact that the sodium changes its effect. That's why the chlorine in NaCl doesn't kill people.

scottwhill.bsky.social•14 hours ago

The mercury used in vaccines behaves similarly to the chlorine in table salt in that its toxicity is mollified by the other chemicals in the vaccine.

Vaccines are safe and necessary. Please get them.

Once again, Trump's appointees prove not only UNqualified, but actually ANTIqualified, as if they're trying to figure out the single worst possible person to run each Department, and nominating them.

right? I mean either these guys are all liars willing to kill millions for some unclear reason, or they are just the dumbest motherfuckers in the country.

either scenario points to a disaster for public health.

Bloomberg almost did the work. So so close. But they had to put the quotation around lie.

Cool cool. Who was arguing with me about the debunked study the other day? This is why.

if only there was a body that was supposed to vet these candidates, and, perhaps, prevent an administration from populating the executive branch with unqualified lackies. Alas.
